About this episode
Solid and stable relationships are foundational to self care –whether we’re talking with a significant other or friendships – that’s where our conversation started. Eighteen year-old Stanley Padgett married his seventeen-year-old high school sweetheart in what easily could have been another divorce statistic. Another couple who naively wed too young and couldn't make it work. While they enjoyed each other, they were tested early and often. They raised their first child while working their way through college. Their second wasn't any easier as Stan was attending Duke Law School at the time. He graduated from Duke University School of Law in 1982 and has been a business trial lawyer in Tampa since then. And that was just the beginning. With 3 children and many grandchildren (and more hoped for), Stan and Linda experienced unimaginable joy with the growth of their relationship and family and unimaginable grief with the loss of two grandsons. Not only did they make it through together, but their relationship strengthened with each adversity, each blessing, and each year that passed. Solid and stable relationships are foundational to self care –whether we’re talking with a significant other or friendships – that’s where our conversation started.
